Florida House Rep. Wyman Duggan says at least two Downtown sites are being considered for the University of Florida’s proposed Health and Financial Technology Graduate Education Center in Jacksonville.

According to Duggan, people close to the project say UF is reviewing land that’s part of Florida State College at Jacksonville’s Downtown Campus and the fairgrounds near TIAA Bank Field. 

Duggan filed a $50 million appropriations request Feb. 13 in the Florida House that would be added to $100 million in proposed city and private sector contributions for the graduate center.
